thanks for that information... I do have full control of the Plesk server, but just not sure how to find the information I need (never used Plesk before)
auto_start is turned off both in the old shared hosting as well as the new hosting. Links below show you full phpinfo This link is for the NEW hosting on the server http://test2.itlcarrier.com/phpinfo.php This link is for the OLD hosting on the shared environment http://www.spoc.co.nz/phpinfo.php I am also trying to send a basic mail() message on the new server and not working either... if you could shed some light on these issues with the full php info provided above would be awesome, Much appreciated.
